Dwight Gayle wheels away after he nets his second goal of a very productive afternoon

It’s not just Newcastle’s lethal attack that is on song

A lot is made of Gayle, Matt Ritchie and Aleksandar Mitrovic and their prowess as Newcastle storm ahead in the Championship – but their defence withstood pressure too expertly.

At the start of the second half, Leeds pushed on and had a number of chances, but the likes of Jamaal Lascalles and Ciaran Clark at the heart of the defence and Karl Darlow in goal held firm – which is why they have only conceded three goals in seven league games.
